B2B Bank Mortgages, Explained
B2B Bank is a chartered Canadian bank you can’t walk into — it lends exclusively through mortgage brokers. That makes it an unusual mix: a bank’s backing and stability, delivered with a monoline’s broker-only pricing. Here’s who B2B Bank is, what it offers, and how we get you through the only door available.
B2B Bank’s 5-year fixed rate over time
Because B2B Bank only lends through brokers, there’s no branch “posted rate” to compare against — the rate you see is closer to the rate you’d actually get. Here’s how B2B Bank’s 5-year fixed has moved over time:

Who is B2B Bank?
B2B Bank is a broker-only Schedule I bank and a subsidiary of Laurentian Bank Financial Group. Rather than operating retail branches, it distributes its mortgage products exclusively through licensed mortgage brokers — functioning much like a monoline lender in day-to-day practice, but with a chartered bank’s stability behind it. B2B Bank has also long been known for investment and registered-plan lending (RRSP and TFSA loans) alongside its mortgage business.
B2B Bank’s mortgage line-up
| Product | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Insured mortgages | Less than 20% down, protected by mortgage default insurance | Buyers with a smaller down payment |
| Conforming Prime mortgages | Standard prime-rate mortgages for well-qualified borrowers with 20%+ equity | Strong-credit purchases, refinances and renewals |
| Bridge loans | Short-term financing that bridges the gap between selling one home and closing on the next | Homeowners moving before their current sale closes |
A bank that only works through brokers
Most banks split their business between branches and the broker channel. B2B Bank skipped branches entirely — the broker channel is the business. That’s a deliberate model: no retail overhead, no branch staff to keep a mortgage sitting on their desk, just structured commitments issued to brokers who bring qualified files. For homeowners, the practical result is that the only way to access B2B Bank’s rates and products is through a broker — there’s no “walk in and ask” option.
